Wrangling the CSS Beast with Sass

Example code to accompany my presentation on Sass at the 2011 VT Code Camp.

Abstract

Sass is an extension of CSS3 that adds power and elegance to the basic language. It allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. (With a little help from Ruby) This talk will cover an overview of what Sass is, how to get it, run it, and use it, and show some examples of its magic.
